Braille House

Braille House began in March 1897 as the Queensland Braille Writing Association by friends of the then Governor's wife Lady Lamington, these friends got together and committed to transcribe 12 books each for children in Queensland who were blind or had low vision. Braille House's mission has not changed our focus in 124 years "To provide Braille tuition and reading material to empower people who are blind or who have low vision to live with dignity and independence". 

Braille House empowers people who are blind or have low vision to be literate and to be able to read whatever they want. These tiny dots support them to live independently, attain their desired level of education, increase their chances for employment and enable them to interact with communities just like everyone else, all of this leads to a better quality of life.
